I know this doesn't answer your question; I don't use that feature myself. I do use rsync for my backups, and what I've noticed is that the first time I do a backup it uses a lot of system resources, especially I/O, which causes a high server load. After that, rsync doesn't take too long and there's not much additional load. You may not need the limiting features unless you will be doing a full backup every day, and if you are, don't use rsync. -- Matthew Nuzum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.followers.net - Makers of "Elite Content Management System" View samples of Elite CMS in action by visiting http://www.followers.net/portfolio/ _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
